The intelligence community is moving from "connect-the-dots" to sharing some or all
of the picture created by connecting those dots. As part of this effort, a working
group is creating data standards to ease the burden of understanding the picture the
dots created. Dirk Rankin is the chief technology officer for the National
Counterterrorism Center and the co-chairman of the Data Aggregation Working Group.
Paul Reynolds is the other co-chairman of the Data Aggregation Working Group. They
tell executive editor Jason Miller about the progress the DAWG is making.
